Will hard Brexit fuck Germany?

Do you think Merkel will strike a special deal to preserve the large business that German automakers have in the UK?

not at all

The only place getting fucked will be Britain.

Germany is already heading into recession and is fucked for other reasons.

Germany will stand with the EU. The Brits will have to crawl to each invidividual country to broker deals that will very likely be less benefitial to the UK than the trading deals between EU nations.

Germany is near-recession now.

It is not politically viable to point out that, while German jobs may be lost because of Brexit, EU solidarity will be strengthened.

Merkel will force the EU into a deal.

Ironic that the victorious Allied countries of WW2 USA Russia and UK are all regressing from the very foundation of their victory and becoming fascist themselves.

There’s not going to be a hard Brexit. Read the papers, troll.

German papers seem to say otherwise

Brexit will not actually happen. You can check out any time you’d like, but you can never leave.

I think a no deal crashing out is inevitable.

R10 is not reading the same papers as R7.

R11 The same tea leaves. I just read them differently.

Banks are openly discussing relocation out of the UK due to Brexit. EU zone manufacturers are likely looking at the same scenario: relocate to EU zone countries with high productivity and constant or reduced cost parity.

There’s potential newer EU member countries will reap the benefits.

Will Ireland replace UK as the English language speaking country of the EU? I think a great historical opportunity awaits Ireland.

A democratic Europe will face off with an autocratic US-UK-Russia alliance.

by Anonymousreply 16August 21, 2019 10:34 AM

Really the EU should stand behind the UK and piss Germany out of the EU. Look at all the shit they pulled in WW1 & WW2 - they cannot be trusted. Merkel is also a Christian who grew of in East Germany - I've never trusted her one bit.

Now the UK and US are becoming fascist and Germany is the leading democracy. FDR and Churchill must be spinning in their graves.

Nothing and no one could fuck Germany any more than it fucked itself starting in 2015. A fucking that it will feel the repercussions of for the next 50 to 100 years.

Their monetary policy of austerity and budget purity is helping to fuck them. They also helped the rise of the Alt Right /Nazis with it after the great recession.

German leadership in action: Angela exposes Buffoon Boris and hands his pair to him. (The obvious alternative to the backstop is Irish reunification of course, currently unthinkable. Just a matter of time though.)

"Angela Merkel has challenged Boris Johnson to come up with a solution to avert a no-deal Brexit “in the next 30 days”, putting responsibility for stopping the UK crashing out of the EU firmly at the British prime minister’s door.

"After weeks of diplomatic tension, the German chancellor used her first face-to-face meeting with her UK counterpart on Wednesday to emphasise that Britain still has the power to resolve the crisis, suggesting that the backstop was “a placeholder that will no longer be necessary” if a solution to the impasse over the Irish border can be found."
